Wild photos and the tales they tell

Epilogue

My good ending with Krahnpix has morphed into an entirely new beginning with Krahnicles!

In the months after signing off this blog, I found that my interest in photography had also waned. So I sold my camera gear and bought a snowblower – maybe it’s a Saskatchewan thing. Now I’m impatiently waiting for snow.

I drew this myself!

I still had a problem – I missed having a creative outlet. Then I got this crazy idea that I should become a cartoonist. The awkward part was that my drawing peaked somewhere around grade two. But why should that stop me?

I had all the tools – I liked to laugh, I liked cartoons and I enjoyed my own sense of humour. The icing on the cake was that occasionally other people laughed with me. What could possibly go wrong?

I came up with some template ideas, drew some stick figures in funny situations and was incredibly fortunate to find someone willing to draw my ideas. The fun began!

I have now bestowed upon myself the title of cartoonist! And I still smile at the idea of a cartoonist who can’t draw.

So a new blog is born – Krahnicles. I won’t be posting cartoons on this blog so I’d be honoured if you checked out the new site and maybe even signed up to follow along. I’m pretty sure one of these days I’ll come up with a funny idea.

Have a good winter everyone!

Bring it on!

What a powerful looking snowblower! Good luck with getting the snow to fall soon in large quantities! ❄️❄️
I’m sure I was one of many that were sorry to see you stop blogging a while back. I’m looking forward to visiting your new site!

I truly will miss your exceptional wildlife photos, as well as the novel commentary. However, I am also a firm believer in “change” to keep things interesting in life. So, I applaud your new adventure in cartooning. Best wishes to you, Sue.

I was wondering what became of you…that is quite a metamorphosis from wildlife photographer to cartoonist. I can’t believe you sold the camera equipment, though! Our election year down here should give you plenty of material for your new blog, for a long, long time to come. It feels like a cartoon to many of us.

Krahnpix was always an odd combination of wildlife photos and my eclectic version of wit. I’m pretty sure I was the biggest fan. I suppose that was a natural outcome of pouring my heart and soul into a project. Through good times and bad, I passionately chased wildlife, learned a few tricks of the trade… Continue Reading

It’s happened hundreds of times. I catch a glimpse of wildlife, like a young elk, and my brain sends the adrenaline pumping thru my veins. It’s scramble time! Since I’m usually in my four-wheel blind when it happens, I quickly navigate into position, open my window and start reaching for my camera in one smooth… Continue Reading

I know this is hard to believe but my daughter thinks I’m wrong! The only proper way to settle this is to let the people decide. So here’s a reasonable facsimile of how our conversation went. Read it and then tell us who you think is right. But first a little background. On our last… Continue Reading
